Gold is found in sulfides and free
state.Most gold you look for will be free goldknow as
placer gold, and will look just like the metal on your ring.The gold will usuallybe found in creeks and rivers that drain gold belt areas and best
tested for with agold pan.This gold is called weathered gold another place for weathered
gold is in the desert or on hill tops where wind weathers the light material away and makes metaldetector a good device to find gold. If you pan in a creek and are finding
lead shot,nails,and other small metal partsyour
looking in the right spots.Remember 95% of all gold is smaller than sand grainsor little flakes .They don't call it rare metal for nothing......GOOD LUCK!!

For the pro: Find a spot in the creek where you want
setup equipment then go up stream aways .Take about
3ft.of fishing line and attach to small lead sinkers and put balloonson other end [just inflate them with a little air].Watch them go down the
gut of the steamto see where the gold will
settle.........Don't forget to send me half for the tip!

ANOTHER TIP;

TAKE THE METAL DETECTORDETECT FOR THE LEAD SHOT
AND SINKERS THE GOLD WILL RUN IN A RIBBON WITH THE LEAD!! MAKE SURE YOU ARE SET IN ALL
METALS MODEAND YOUR DETECTOR COIL IS WATER PROOF!! (MOST ARE
BUT CALL MANUFACTURE OR LOOK IN OWNERS MANUAL FIRST!!)
